Our vision is that the Greater Nashville Church will become a living expression of God's Kingdom, where all people can find a place to belong, and disciples of every generation are transformed and inspired to carry the love of Jesus from Middle Tennessee to the nations.

We value...

Seeking the Heart of Jesus calls us to love God deeply and follow Him with a repentant, transformed life rooted in His grace and truth. Therefore, we hold biblical convictions about sin while choosing mercy, humility, and spiritual authenticity over religious performance. 

Matthew 11:28-29, Matthew 9:36, Micah 6:6-8

The Christian life cannot be lived in our own strength. Therefore, we embrace a life of prayer, expectant faith, and continual responsiveness to the leading of the Holy Spirit, depending on His wisdom and power as He transforms us to become more like Jesus. 

Romans 8:14-17, Galatians 5:22-25

God has graciously revealed His truth through His Word. Therefore, we submit to the authority of scripture by obeying God’s commands, allowing His Word and Jesus’ example to shape our beliefs, our character, and our lives while equipping us for every good work.

2 Timothy 3:14-17, 2 Peter 1:16-21, James 1:22-25

God has adopted us into His family, so we strive to live as God’s vision of family. More than simply sharing a church, we share our lives; showing up for one another, bearing each other's burdens, forgiving one another, working through conflict with humility and love, and caring for one another because no one should follow Jesus alone. 

Acts 2:42-47

Our unity is found in Jesus Christ, who brings together people of every generation, culture, and background into one family. Therefore, we celebrate the diversity of God's people, believing every person bears His image and has a unique place in His Kingdom. 

Colossians 3:11, Ephesians 2:14-22

God has uniquely gifted every believer to strengthen His Church. Therefore, we faithfully use our gifts with humility and integrity, serving others, embracing responsibility, and contributing to the health, growth, and mission of our church. 

Ephesians 4:16

Because God first loved us, we are committed to loving every person with the compassion, grace, and truth of Jesus. Love gives meaning to everything we do.  Whether in the church or in the community, we seek to see people as God sees them, treating every person with dignity while extending kindness, mercy, and hope regardless of their background or circumstances. 

Matthew 5:43-48, 1 Peter 4:8

A warm welcome is easy; real belonging takes intentionality. Therefore we make room for new stories, backgrounds, and voices, creating safe and inviting spaces where people experience genuine connection, meaningful inclusion, and a place to belong. 

Matthew 9:10-13, Galatians 3:28

Jesus calls us to make disciples of all nations. Therefore, we intentionally walk alongside people as they come to know Jesus, grow in His likeness, and learn to faithfully follow Him throughout every stage of life. As we mature together, we invest in others so they too can make disciples, multiplying God's Kingdom one life at a time.

Matthew 28:18-20
